[R] linearHypothesis and factors

[John Fox]

Dear Alex,

As explained in ?linearHypothesis, you can use matchCoefs() in the second argument:

    linearHypothesis(reg, matchCoefs(reg, "year") , vcov=vcovHC(reg, "HC1"))

In addition, you can set the argument white.adjust="hc1" as an alternative to using the vcov argument. Finally, in this case it would be simpler to just use Anova(), also with white.adjust="hc1".

I hope this helps,
 John
